Prompts · Personal task management
Restart a project you've been avoiding for weeks
a project has stalled, you know exactly what the first step is, and you still haven't opened the file.
Built on
David Allen · 2015
Breaks the stall into a physical next action — visible, concrete, doable in one sitting — instead of a vague intention.
James Clear · 2018
Supplies habit-stacking and the two-minute rule to make that first action frictionless enough to actually start.
The prompt
My situation: [describe the project, why it stalled, and what's at stake if it stays stalled]
Use Getting Things Done by David Allen (2015) and Atomic Habits by James Clear (2018) to help.
Recall any details from the whole book that help, including names, numbers, scenes, or cases that are not the most famous chapter titles.
Copies as plain text. Paste it into whatever model you already use.
